Customer Questions and Answers for Turntable Motor (Microwave Oven) by Viking

This replacement turntable motor drives the rotating glass tray in compatible microwave ovens so dishes cook evenly and rotate smoothly. It restores tray rotation when the original motor fails. What it does:

• Rotates the microwave turntable to promote even heating and cooking
• Replaces a motor that has stopped turning, stalls, or turns intermittently
• Stops or reduces grinding, buzzing, or intermittent motion caused by a failing drive motor
• Interfaces with the turntable coupling and mounting bracket to transfer torque to the tray

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the oven is fully de-energized to avoid electric shock.
• Access may require removing the turntable, roller ring, and lower access panel or cavity trim.
• Align the motor shaft with the turntable coupling and secure mounting fasteners; confirm the tray spins freely before reassembly.
